All Reviews for Outdoor Activities

With one instructor per group, the explanations and guidance were thorough, making for a very pleasant snorkeling experience. The children were also delighted. We had many photos taken, which we received for free.

1グループ1インストラクターで、説明、案内も丁寧で、とても気持ちよくシュノーケリングができました。子供たちも喜んでいました。
写真もたくさん撮ってもらえ、無料でいただけました。

I was glad to learn about the names of rare butterflies and plants while canoeing through the mangroves. Thank you for taking photos at the waterfall and various locations as well. I would like to participate again.

　カヌーでマングローブの中を進む時、珍しいちょうの名前や、植物について教えていただけてよかったです。また、滝やさまざまな場所で写真も撮っていただきありがとうございました。
　また参加したいです。

This was my first time participating in an activity through Veltra. I decided to join because the reviews were originally good. There were many participants, but we split into teams and snorkeled at two points. A life jacket is mandatory and cannot be removed. It was also my first time with stand-up paddleboarding, but I had a great time! Thank you very much.

ベルトラからアクティビティの参加は初めてでした。口コミも元々良かったので参加を決めました。参加人数は多かったですがチームで別れてシュノーケル2ポイントしました。ライフジャケットは必須で外すのは出来ません。SUPも初めてでしたが、楽しく出来ました！ありがとうございました。

11:00 Meet at Shiragi Beach for 1 hour of snorkeling
After 12:00 End and disperse
15:30 Meet again (due to low tide)
17:00 End
It would be more customer-friendly to schedule from 14:00 to 17:00 to allow for other plans.

The total time from start to finish is 6 hours, but the actual usage time is only about 2.5 to 3 hours. I wasn't particularly expecting to see turtles, so it was fine if I didn't encounter any, but since we only swam in the bay at Shiragi Beach, there was no need for a tour; just renting snorkeling gear would suffice.

At the Blue Cave, you ride a boat, and the experience is much more impressive, with a longer duration that provides a sense of fulfillment, so it would have been better to use that for two days. The staff's response wasn't bad, but with a typhoon approaching, the waves were strong, and there was a risk of serious injury on the rocky areas, especially for women and children participating.

I understand that the tour company needs revenue due to COVID, but they are not ensuring safety and security, which is why I give this rating.

Additionally, while the Blue Cave provided prescription goggles for free, here they charged 2000 yen. There was no receipt given in cash, so it might have just gone into the staff's pockets... w

11:00 シラギビーチ集合1時間だけシュノーケル
12時すぎ　終了、解散
15:30 集合(干潮時間の為)
17:00 終了
14:00〜17:00での方が他の予定を組めて客に優しい

開始から終了時間までが6時間で実質的には利用時間は2:30から3時間
亀は別に期待して無かったので遭遇できなくてもよかったですがシラギビーチの湾内で泳ぐだけなのでシュノーケル道具をレンタルするだけでツアーにする必要はありません。
青の洞窟では船に乗るし、感動レベルも高く、時間も充実感を感じられるくらい長いのでそちらを2日利用した方が良かったです。
スタッフの対応は悪くは無かったですが台風が来ている中で波が強く、岩場で脚を切るなど(たいしたことはなかったが)女性、子供が参加する中で岩場の多い中で大怪我する危険性は大いにありました。
コロナの為売上が必要性でしょうがツアー会社として安心安全は出来ていない為、この評価とします。

追加、青の洞窟では度付きゴーグルはタダでしたがこちらでは2000円取られました。現金で領収書も出なかったのでスタッフの小遣いになっていたりして・・・w

Since it was an experience at Hija River, which is close to Naha, I was worried about the location, but the atmosphere surrounded by mangroves was more than enough, and I was very satisfied. The female guide was also kind, and I could enjoy kayaking while chatting! I highly recommend it!

那覇から近場の比謝川での体験だったのでロケーションが心配でしたが、マングローブに囲まれた川で雰囲気も十分にありとても満足できました。ガイドの女性も親切で色々と話ながらカヤックを楽しめます！オススメです！

I participated with my middle school and high school children. I was worried because a typhoon was coming, but instead of canceling, we postponed and took on the challenge! I'm really glad we didn't give up and participated. The guide was truly entertaining! I couldn't stop feeling excited! We found various creatures one after another! My daughter and son, who were initially reluctant due to their rebellious phase, were surprisingly thrilled! We got to see a starry sky with the Milky Way, and my troubled heart cleared up; it was truly a wonderful night. It might have been the most fun I've had on Ishigaki Island. I apologize for the trouble when my son rushed to the restroom due to a stomachache, but everyone was so warm-hearted, and I can't express how grateful I am for that night. I want to go again!

私と中学生、高校生の子供と三人で参加しました。台風が来ていたので心配でしたが、キャンセルせずに日延べをしてチャレンジ！あきらめず参加してよかったです。本当にガイドさんが面白い！　とにかくワクワクが止まりません！　いろいろな生き物が次から次へと見つけるし出てくるし！　最初は気乗りしなかった反抗期の娘と息子はびっくりするぐらい大はしゃぎ！満点の星空に天の川が見れて、モヤモヤした心がすっきり晴れて本当に素敵な夜でした。石垣島で一番楽しかったかもです。途中で息子が腹痛でトイレに駆け込みご迷惑をおかけしましたが、皆さん心温かくて感謝しきれないくらいの夜でした。また行きたいです！

Our family's first trip to Iriomote Island. Considering the weather conditions after the typhoon, they suggested shifting our schedule by one day. We enjoyed a SUP experience in the mangroves and took commemorative photos at the waterfall. My 7-year-old son was excited and thoroughly enjoyed paddling while standing. The guide sent us the best shots individually in an album, which was touching!

During lunch, we were caught in a heavy rainstorm, but in the afternoon, we enjoyed snorkeling at Barasu Island under clear skies, taking in the beautiful scenery. With their thoughtful attention and friendly guided tour, the kids had a great time and we had a valuable experience. I will create a photo book with the pictures taken! Thank you very much!

家族で初めての西表島。台風通過後の気象状況を考慮してくださり、予定を１日ずらしては、との提案をしてくださいました。
マングローブをSUP体験しながら、滝での記念写真✨7歳息子も張り切りながら、立ち漕ぎを堪能していました。ガイドさんがベストショットを個別にアルバム送付してくださり、感激しました！！
昼食時には、スコール雷雨に見舞われましたが、
午後のバラス島シュノーケリングでは、晴天の下、美しい光景を満喫できました。
細やかな気くばりと、フレンドリーなガイドツアーで
子供達も楽しく、貴重な体験をさせていただきました
撮影していただいた写真で、フォトブックを作製します！ありがとうございました

They made sure to keep space between our group and others to avoid close contact, and they also prepared tea for us. Most importantly, they provided a thorough explanation about the stars, and before we knew it, an hour had passed! Honestly, I had some concerns about whether it was okay to go during this time, but it was amazing to see so many stars that I've always wanted to see! I never expected to see the Milky Way so beautifully… I definitely want to participate again!

三密回避で、きちんとグループ以外の人達との空間はあけてくださっていたし、お茶も用意してくださって、何より星のことたくさん丁寧に説明してくださって、あっという間に1時間が過ぎました！
正直、この時期に行っても良いのかな？という気持ちはありましたが、念願の星がたくさん見れて最高でした‼︎天の川があんなにきれいに観れるとは…
また、参加したいなぁと思います！

It was a bit tough for us, who usually don't exercise and have gotten used to self-restraint, but we had a lot of fun participating. I bought two plastic bottles in advance, but I could have used three because I sweated a lot.

It was my first experience with canoeing, and we tried a two-person canoe. There was an explanation beforehand, so we were able to get on smoothly and it was enjoyable. The guide was friendly, and it was a very fulfilling tour.

普段運動せず、自粛慣れしてしまった私たちには少しキツかったですが、とても楽しく参加できました。事前にペットボトルを2本購入して持っていきましたが、3本あっても良いくらい汗をかきました。
カヌー初体験で2人乗りに挑戦しましたが、事前に説明があったのでスムーズに乗れて楽しかったです。ガイドの方もフレンドリーでとても充実したツアーでした。

I participated with my sixth-grade son. We received notice the day before that we couldn't go to Barasu Island due to the waves, so we entered Iriomote Island with low spirits, but in the end, it was a tour that left both of us very satisfied with the active nature activities on Iriomote Island.

First, we explored the mangroves with stand-up paddleboarding (SUP). We enjoyed the journey while observing rare plants and creatures, taking our own routes, and occasionally, the tour guide would fall in with a splash, which added to the fun. Fortunately, I didn't fall in, but I was sweating while paddling.

Then, we entered the river and walked towards the waterfall. The water temperature was cool, and it felt really nice. I completely forgot that my sunscreen would wash off as I got drenched under the waterfall, haha. Since Barasu Island was canceled, we were originally supposed to stop here, but we decided to join the canyoneering in the afternoon, which was arranged on short notice. We swam, slid, jumped into the river, and did some rock climbing. My son was overjoyed, saying this was the most fun part of the trip.

Although rain was forecasted for the day, we were blessed with good weather throughout, and we had a great time moving our bodies while fully enjoying the great outdoors. The guide was very friendly and lively, and he safely led us through the activities. He also took a lot of photos for us. Next time, I definitely want to participate with my husband and the whole family.

小六の息子と2人で参加しました。
波の影響でバラス島には行けないと前日連絡があり、
テンション低めで初の西表入りしましたが
結果、西表島のアクティブな自然遊びに親子共々大満足のツアーでした。
まずはSUPでマングローブ探検。
珍しい植物や生き物を眺めながら思い思いのルートでまわり、時々ツアーの方がドボンと落ちるなど楽しみながら進んでいきました。私は幸い？落ちなかったものの汗だくで漕ぎながら進みました。
そして途中から川に入って歩いて進み滝打ち。
水温も冷たく、すごく気持ちよかったです。
日焼け止めが取れることも忘れて滝に打たれまくりましたっ笑。
バラス島が中止になったので本来ここまでですが、
急遽ご案内いただいたキャニオリングに午後参加することに。川を泳いだり滑ったり飛び込んだり、ロッククライムしたり。これが息子的には1番この旅行で楽しかったと大喜びでした。
この日は雨予報でしたが終始お天気にも恵まれ、また大自然を満喫しながら心地よく身体を動かせとても楽しかったです。
ガイドの方もとても気さくで楽しく盛り上げ、そして安全に導いてくださりました。お写真もたくさん撮ってくださいました。
次回は是非、旦那さん含め家族全員で参加したいです。

I was moved to encounter unique creatures like coconut crabs and habu snakes that can only be found on Iriomote Island. I was able to see several coconut crabs, and it felt like I wanted to see more. However, since they are not often seen on Ishigaki Island, I think it’s worth staying on Iriomote Island and participating in a night tour.

The beach I reached after passing through the jungle was even more impressive with the stars! I was very satisfied to see the Milky Way and shooting stars.

In addition to information about wildlife, plants, and stars, I learned a lot about delicious restaurants, which was very informative.

I would love to participate again!

ヤシガニやハブなど、西表島ならではの生物に出会えて感動しました。
ヤシガニは何個体も見れて、またーって感じでしたが、石垣島ではあまり見られないと言う事で、西表島に宿泊し、ナイトツアーに参加する価値ありだと思いました。

ジャングルを抜けた先のビーチで見た、星に更なる感動！
天の川、流れ星も見れて、大満足です。

生物、植物、星などに加え、ご飯の美味しいお店など幅広い情報を教えて頂き、とても勉強になりました。

また参加させて頂きたいなと思いました！

On the day of the tour, there was a forecast for a typhoon, so I was worried about whether the ferry would run and if the tour would take place. However, it turned out to be a beautiful sunny day, and I was able to enjoy the tour in clear weather! They also informed us in advance by phone about what to do in case the ferry didn't operate.

We visited the mangroves and the limestone cave, and it was exciting to explore in nature rather than on a path prepared for the tour!

Since the limestone cave has narrow and low passages, it's better to wear clothes that expose less skin!

We couldn't go to the Phantom Island, so I will try again next time! (If you can't go to Phantom Island, you will be properly refunded for that part!)

当日は台風の予報が出ていてフェリーが出るか、ツアーは開催されるか？など心配でしたが、無事に晴れ、ツアー中は快晴の中楽しむことができました！フェリーが出ない場合の対応も事前に電話でお知らせしてくれました。

マングローブと鍾乳洞に行きましたが、ツアー用に整備された道ではなく、自然の中を探検できたのが刺激的でした！

鍾乳洞は、狭くて低いところも通るので、肌の露出が少ない格好の方がよいです！

幻の島には行けなかったのでまた次回挑戦します！(幻の島に行けない場合はその分ちゃんと返金されます！)

I had touched a dolphin before, but I had never swum with one, so I signed up. Each person got to swim about 10 meters.

Considering safety, I guess this is about the right amount?

I didn't keep an exact eye on the clock, but out of the 50 minutes, there were 10 minutes for explanation, then we moved to the pool and split into two groups of 10 to start. After about 15 minutes of interaction, we switched to another dolphin for another 15 minutes. That's the general idea. It was engaging and ended in no time. We had a great time, and I think it was a wonderful experience for the kids.

The time each person got to interact felt like about 5 minutes in total, so as an adult, I couldn't help but think about the cost, and I felt it was a bit pricey.

Also, the waterproof case I bought for my phone quickly filled with water and was ruined. I wonder if I could have gotten it exchanged if I had said something? The staff seemed really busy and efficient, so it didn't feel like the right moment to speak up.

イルカに触ったことはあったけど、捕まって泳いだことがなく、申し込みました。
1人10mくらい泳がせてもらいました。

安全面を考えるとこのくらいなのかな？

ちゃんと時計を見たわけではないですが、50分のうち、説明10分、プールへ移動して10人を2グループに分けてスタート。15分くらい触れ合ったら、別のイルカにチェンジして、もう15分。くらいのイメージです。
飽きさせず、あっという間に終わりました。
楽しかったねー！と親子で盛り上がりました。こどもにはとてもいい経験だったと思います。
1人が触れ合える時間は、合計5分くらいの感覚ですので、大人はどうしてもお金のことも考えてしまい、値段は高いと思ってしまいました。

そこで購入した、携帯防水ケースがあっという間に浸水して、ダメでした。言ったら交換してもらえたのかな？すごい忙しそうにキビキビしてたので、声かける空気じゃなかったので。。

When I came to Iriomote before, my children were not old enough, so I had given up on the tour, but I finally got to experience the long-awaited Pinaisara. The guide was very knowledgeable about the plants, animals, and mountains, and the conversations were enjoyable. My son, who can be quite demanding, was also encouraged to participate, and thanks to that, it became the best memory for us. The view from above the waterfall was more wonderful than I had imagined, and the power of the waterfall was incredible. The Yaeyama soba that the guide made and served was truly delicious, and I fell in love with Yaeyama soba as well. The canoeing was fun, and the entire tour exceeded my expectations. We were advised to prepare 1 to 1.5 liters of drinks per person in advance. We didn't drink that much since it rained a bit along the way, but the sun was quite strong during canoeing. It's also a good idea to have a hat for extra comfort. Thank you very much.

以前に西表にきたときは子供の年齢が達しておらず、
諦めていたツアーで念願のピナイサーラでした。
ガイドさんは動植物や山のことなどとても詳しく、お話も楽しかったですし、
わがままを言う息子も上手にその気にさせてくださり、
お陰様で最高の思い出となりました。
滝上からの景色は想像以上に素晴らしく、滝つぼの迫力もすごかったです。
そしてガイドさんが作って食べる八重山そばは本当に美味しく、
八重山そばも大好きになりました。
カヌーも楽しく、すべて期待通りかそれ以上のツアーでした。
飲み物は一人1リットルから1､5リットル事前に用意するように言われます。
うちは途中で雨が降ったりとそれほど飲まなかったですが、
カヌーは日差しがかなり強いです。
帽子もあったほうが安心です。
ありがとうございました。

I participated with my girlfriend. It was more active than I imagined, and we had a lot of fun!! The tour guide, Junjun, was very polite but also entertaining, and he shared a lot of information about Iriomote Island. I would like to request Pipi again the next time I travel here.

彼女と2人で参加しました。
想像以上にアクティブで、とても楽しかったです！！
ツアーガイドのじゅんじゅんさんも
すごく丁寧だけど面白くて、色々と西表島の情報も教えていただきました。
また次に旅行に来た際はピピさんにお願いしたいです。

Due to the weather, we changed our course from snorkeling at Barasu Island without the cave to mangrove SUP and trekking at the Kura River. I'm glad we chose this course!

The water level was high, and Barasu Island was underwater, but the surrounding water was very clear, allowing us to enjoy snorkeling immensely. Miraculously, we were also able to see sea turtles up close, which was very satisfying!

SUP while viewing the mangroves up close was fantastic. Paddling through the narrow river while standing and sitting on the SUP felt like an attraction. It was my first time on a SUP, but I had no problems and enjoyed it. The waterfall we reached after trekking was also very beautiful and refreshing.

Overall, the schedule was relaxed, allowing us to take our time and enjoy taking photos. I really appreciated that.

The instructors were also very friendly, and thanks to them, it turned out to be the best day on Iriomote Island! I'm looking forward to the photos they took! Thank you so much for an amazing day!!!

天候の関係で、前日に鍾乳洞なしのバラス島シュノーケリング→クーラ川のマングローブSUP&トレッキングのコースへ変更しました。
このコースにして良かったです！

水位が高く、バラス島は海の中でしたが周辺は水の透明度が高くシュノーケリングをとても楽しめました。そして、奇跡的にウミガメも近くで見ることができて大満足でした！

マングローブを近くで見ながらSUPも最高でした。狭い川をSUPで立ったり座ったりしながら進んで、なんだかアトラクションのようでした。初めてのSUPでしたが、問題なく楽しめました。トレッキングをして辿り着いた滝もとっても綺麗で心が洗われました。

全体的にゆとりのあるスケジュールを組んでくれているので、ゆっくり写真を撮ったりしながら楽しめました。ありがたかったです。

そして、インストラクターさん達もとても親しみやすく、お陰様で最高の西表島での1日になりました！！撮ってくださった写真も楽しみです！本当に本当に1日ありがとうございました！！！

Kuri-chan, our guide, took us to some hidden spots, and we quickly saw a lot of coconut crabs. We were also able to find fireflies and snakes. Additionally, we visited two spots with a stunning starry sky. There were hardly any people around, and even though it wasn't a new moon, the Milky Way was clearly visible, making the night sky absolutely beautiful! I want to come back during the new moon in May. Thank you very much!

ガイドのくりちゃんが穴場スポットを案内してくれて、ヤシガニはすぐに、たくさん出てきました。また、ホタルもヘビなんかも見つけることができました。さらに、満天の星空スポットを2ヶ所周ることができました。人が全然いないし、新月じゃないのに天の川がはっきり見えるほど綺麗な星空で最高でした！！今度は5月の新月の時期に来たいと思います。ありがとうございました！

In the morning, I did SUP at Kabira Bay. There were explanations about how to paddle as well as information about the sea and marine life, and I had a great time!

In the afternoon, I went snorkeling. It was completely different from the sea I usually visit, with vibrant corals and fish welcoming me! It was definitely an emotional experience!!

The guide was very talkative, and I was able to enjoy the entire time! Thank you very much!!

午前中は川平湾でSUPでした。SUPの漕ぎ方はもちろん、海や生物についての説明もあり、とても楽しめました！

午後からはシュノーケリングでした。普段よく行く海とは全くちがい、色鮮やかな珊瑚や魚が出迎えてくれました！感動すること間違いなし！！

ガイドの方もよく話す方で終始楽しむことができました！
ありがとうございました！！

Kenta and Chad's guided tour was incredibly fun. It was filled with thrills and adventures reminiscent of Adventure World! I had a great time with the impromptu team we formed, sharing laughter and helping each other out. I'm really glad I chose this tour. The phantom island... the limestone caves... kayaking... everything was a first-time experience, and I want to come back again tomorrow! To all the staff at pipi... thank you! See you again!

健太&チャドペアーガイド最高に楽しかったです。
アドベンチャーワールドさながらスリルと冒険の数々！！
いっしょに周った即席チームの皆さんで、笑い多汗をかき助けあいながらとっても良い時間を過ごせました。
このツアーを選んで本当に良かったです。
幻の島…
鍾乳洞…
カヤック…
すべて初体験でしたが、また明日来たいと思います！
pipiのスタッフの皆さん…
ありがとうございました！
また会いましょう！！

It was a little scary, but it was fun. Chad and Kenta explained a lot, and it was interesting. It felt like an adventure, and we made a few wrong turns, but it was great. They took a lot of photos, so I have many memories. I definitely want you to go!

少しこわかったけれど楽しかったです
チャドさんや健太さんがたくさん説明してくれて、面白かったです。冒険をしているみたいで、道を多少間違えていましたが良かったです。　
写真もたくさん撮ってくれたので思い出もたくさんあります
是非行ってもらいたいです

On August 4th, my family of four had a one-day snorkeling experience in the Kerama Islands. I don't remember the name of the staff member who assisted us, but a young man with brown hair kindly accompanied my 7-year-old daughter throughout the day and helped her with various things, allowing us to fully enjoy the beautiful sea and snorkeling at a leisurely pace. My daughter is saying she wants to go to the sea with that big brother again. We were also able to see turtles several times, making it an amazing day. Thank you very much!

８月4日に、家族4人で慶良間諸島1日シュノーケリング体験をしました。担当してくれたスタッフの名前は覚えていないのてすが、茶髪の若い男性スタッフの方が、7歳の娘に1日付き添って優しく色々と手助けしてくれたお蔭で、1日ゆっくり綺麗な海とシュノーケルを満喫できました。娘も、また、あのお兄ちゃんと、一緒に海に行きたいと言っています。亀も何回か見る事ができ、最高な1日でした。本当にありがとうございました。

Before the tour started, it was quite cloudy, so we were asked for a final confirmation of our willingness to participate (even though the clouds might obstruct our view of the stars). Since my stay was short and I couldn't reschedule to another date, I decided to join, and I was able to see many stars and really enjoyed it.

I was also impressed by the star guide's announcements, which were backed by their extensive knowledge. The visibility of stars varies depending on the weather at that time, so I assume they adapt flexibly each time. There were many moments of spontaneous improvisation.

The pre-participation confirmation and the engaging talks to entertain the guests both reflected a simple yet pure intention to let participants genuinely enjoy the stars, showcasing their consideration and performance. I hope for good weather next time and plan to join again.

ツアー開始前、曇りがちだったため、現地に着いてから最終の意思確認（雲が架かって、星が存分に見れないかもしれないけど参加します？）をされました。短期滞在だったことと、予定が埋まり他日程への振替が出来ないこともあり、結果参加させて頂きましたが、多くの星を見る事ができ楽しめました。
また、星案内人さんの豊富な知識に裏付けされたアナウンスにも感服。その日、その時間の天気によって見えやすい星が異なるので、その都度臨機応変にご対応されているものと推測します。柔軟なアドリブが随所にありました。
参加する前の意思確認や、お客を楽しませるためのトーク、いずれも「参加した方に純粋に星を楽しんでもらう」というシンプルながら高純度の想いがあるからこその配慮やパフォーマンス。
次回は運良く天気になればよいな、と神頼みして参加しようと思います。

The experience diving happened to be on my son's birthday. The staff knew about it and made a birthday card with the photos as a gift. It was the best birthday ever. They took great pictures with the turtle, creating wonderful memories. I also got to meet my favorite Mbu pufferfish, which was truly fun. Next time I go to Okinawa, I will definitely sign up for this tour again.

体験ダイビングがちょうど息子の誕生日でした。スタッフさんがそれを知って写真をバースデーカードにしてプレゼントしてくれました。最高の誕生日でした。カメとの写真もバッチリ撮っていただき、素敵な思い出になりました。大好きなモンガラカワハギにも会えて本当に楽しかったです。次回沖縄に行くときは必ずこのツアーを申し込みます。

We were a bit flustered as we participated with my daughter who got injured just before departure, but everyone was very kind and it really helped us! The tour guide was friendly and laughed happily with my daughter, which made it a lot of fun for us too. The guidance was great, and I learned a lot of interesting things (＾v＾).

As for the tour content, it was an irresistible plan for someone like me who loves photography. Usually, I end up being the one taking photos, but this time we were able to capture some wonderful family pictures! Since it was a boat entry, we didn't have to walk up any stairs, and best of all, when we dove from the boat, there were so many fish! My daughter was so excited that she was shouting.

I'm really glad we participated. If we have the chance to go to Okinawa again, I would definitely love to join another tour! m(_ _)m

出発直前に怪我をした娘を連れての参加でバタバタしましたが、とても親切にして頂き助かりました！
ツアーガイドのお姉さんも気さくな方で、娘と一緒にケラケラと楽しそうに笑ってくれてこちらもとても楽しかったです。案内も良くて色々物知りになりました(＾v＾）
ツアーの内容ですが、写真好きの私にはたまらないプランでした。
普段だと写真係になってしまうことが多いのですが、今回はとても良い家族写真を残すことが出来ました！
ボートエントリーなので、階段を歩かなくても済みましたし、なんといってもボートからダイブしたらそこには沢山の魚！！娘が大興奮で叫んでいました。
本当に参加して良かったです。
沖縄に行くとこがあれば是非またよろしくお願いしますm(_ _)m

The trekking course at Oishi Forest Mountain was not too hard, allowing us to enjoy the feeling of being in nature as we walked. The weather was great, and listening to our guide's thorough explanations made for a perfect day.

During our lunch break, we visited "Yuiyui Kunigami," which had many local products on display, and the soba was delicious.

The Churaumi Aquarium had some areas closed due to the season, but since it was my first visit, I still enjoyed it.

This time, there were only a few participants, so our guide was able to flexibly adjust the schedule, for which I am truly grateful. Thank you for a wonderful day.

大石林山のトレッキングコースはハード過ぎず、自然の中にいる感覚を味わいながら歩くことができました。
天気も良く、ガイドさんの丁寧なご説明を聞きながら最高の1日でした。

昼休憩で訪れた「ゆいゆい国頭」は土地ならではの商品が沢山並んでいて、ソバも美味しかったです。

美ら海水族館は、時期的に閉館になっている所もありましたが、初めて訪れたので楽しめました。

今回は参加者が少人数だったため、ガイドさんが臨機応変にタイムスケジュールを変更して下さったりと、本当に感謝です。
素敵な一日を有難うございました。

Kayaking is a fun activity for families.
Trekking involves rocky areas, so a physical fitness level equivalent to at least a fourth grader is necessary to climb independently. If below that level, assistance from parents will be needed.
Since you'll be swimming in the waterfall pool, please participate in swimwear.

カヤックは家族連れで楽しく遊べます。
トレッキングは岩場が有り、自力で登るのに小学４年生程度以上の体力が必要でしょう。それ以下の場合は親の助けが必要です。
滝つぼで泳ぎますので、水泳の衣服で参加してください。

On July 29, 2020, my daughter, who was supposed to come from Tokyo, had to cancel due to COVID-19 restrictions, so I traveled alone from the countryside. When I landed at Uehara Port on Iriomote Island, several guides were there to greet us, and I immediately recognized the one holding the "PIPI" sign. After taking a wagon to the estuary, we received a briefing and started the experience. The equipment included a lightweight life jacket and thick-soled marine shoes.

Paddling while admiring the mangroves and trekking to swim in the waterfall was a sensation that you can't experience on TV or YouTube.

Our guide, Chad (Komatsu), allowed us to discover the unique creatures and plants of Iriomote at every turn. Chad is a young man with a dark complexion, a striking face, and a refreshing vibe. I was impressed by his professionalism, ensuring we had fun without feeling pressured! I definitely want to participate again next time with my children. This time, there were three pairs with us, but even as a solo participant, I thoroughly enjoyed the great outdoors.

Also, it seems that being prepared to get wet will enhance the enjoyment of this tour. A sense of happiness awaits as you float while soaking in the negative ions at the final waterfall.

Due to space constraints, I omitted some details, but I also had a fantastic time snorkeling at Barasu Island. I even saw a sea turtle! Practicing snorkeling at the beach the day before was somewhat helpful.

2020年7月29日

東京から来る筈だった娘がコロナ自粛となり、地方からの1人旅。
西表島の上原港に上陸すると、ガイドさんが何人も出迎えていますが、「PIPI」の看板を持っていてすぐ分かります。ワゴンに乗って河口に着くと、講習を受けて体験スタート。装備は、軽量のライフジャケットと厚底のマリンシューズ。
マングローブを眺めながらパドルを漕いだり、トレッキングして滝つぼで泳ぐ体験は、TVやYouTubeでは味わえない快感です。

ガイドのチャドさん（小松さん）は、西表ならでは生き物や植物の発見を至る所で体験させてくれました。
チャドさんは、色黒・濃い顔・爽やか系の好青年。無理させず、安心して楽しませてくれるプロ意識に感心！これなら次回、子どもと参加したいと思えます。今回はペア3組と一緒でしたが、1人参加でも大自然の前では関係なく満喫できました。

それとこのツアー、濡れる覚悟で参加した方が楽しめそう。最後の滝つぼでマイナスイオン浴びながら浮かぶ幸せが待っているから。

文字数の都合で割愛しましたが、バラス島のシュノーケリングもすごく楽しめました。海ガメも見れたし。前日にビーチでシュノーケル練習したのが、少しは役立ちました。

I was moved to see a sea turtle for the first time! ✨ We moved to three different snorkeling points, and each had a different depth, so I never got bored. ^_^

ウミガメ始めて見れて感動しました✨
3箇所シュノーケリングポイントを移動
するのですが、全部深さなどが違って
飽きずに回れました^_^

It was my first challenge. At first, I was a bit anxious since I was older and it was my first time. The instructor helped me a lot, and I was able to complete it safely until the end. This was the most fulfilling experience I had during my trip to Okinawa. I'm really glad I participated and made great memories.

初めての挑戦でした。
最初は少し不安でした、年齢もそれなりに高いしお初でしたし〜
インストラクターの兄さんに色々助けられて、最後迄無事にやり通しました。
今回沖縄旅行イベントの中で一番達成感を感じる事できました。いい思い出出来て本当に参加して良かったです。

We participated as a group of three men, and we were very satisfied. It was great to be able to move our bodies moderately, and the guide was very knowledgeable, making it a lot of fun. Although we participated during the COVID period, they were very thorough with mask-wearing and alcohol disinfection, so we felt very safe taking part. I highly recommend it.

男3人での参加でしたが、非常に満足出来ました。適度に体を動かせる上に、ガイドの方も知識が豊富でとても楽しかったです。
コロナの時期での参加になりましたが、マスク着用やアルコール消毒の徹底などもしっかりしていてとても安心して参加できました。かなりおすすめです。
